Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I've got it on DVD. Fun movie. I like the part where someone is throwing rocks at the engineer. The train workers don't have rocks so they throw back chunks of firewood st the rock throwers. After the train passes by they gleefully pick up the firewood.
